BABES IN ARMS @ Musical Theater West, Reiner Reading

Book by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart; Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by Lorenz Hart.

“My Funny Valentine.” “The Lady is a Tramp.” “Johnny One Note.” All of these songs originated in the granddaddy of all “Hey kids, let’s put on a show” musicals from 1937. See what transpired with Hart turned to Rodgers with the idea to write a topical and politically charged show starring kids.

No sets, no costumes, minimal props, minimal choreography. The full script and score are performed by actors holding scripts and a small orchestra. Each production has only 25 hours of rehearsal. Think about it. Just the actors, the musicians and your imagination. It's a magical evening of theatre and a chance for Musical Theatre West to bring you some of Broadway's forgotten gems, undiscovered treasures and shows that deserve a second look.
